Purus Marine Announces Agreement to Acquire Offshore Wind Service Operation Vessel
Purus Marine, a maritime holding company that owns environmentally-advanced vessels and infrastructure equipment, today announced an agreement to acquire a large offshore wind service operation vessel (“SOV”). The SOV is currently under construction and will deliver directly into a multi-year time charter with a leading European renewable energy company, beginning early 2022. The SOV is a hybrid-electric vessel that offers best-in-class environmental performance and is “zero emissions ready” with future larger battery/charging and fuel cell options. A leading Norwegian ship manager and owner will provide technical and commercial services for the SOV.
“This environmentally-advanced SOV is well aligned with our mission to de-carbonise the maritime industry, not only in achieving reduced carbon emissions today, but also with the potential to operate with zero emissions in the future,” said Julian Proctor, Chief Executive Officer of Purus Marine. “We are proud to provide this critical marine infrastructure equipment to support the generation of offshore renewable energy.”
“We are delighted to have an agreement to acquire our first SOV, marking the first step in achieving Purus Marine’s goal of owning a world-leading fleet of SOVs servicing the offshore wind industry,” said Svein Engh, Senior Advisor and a Board Member of Purus Marine. “This is only the start as Purus Marine expects to make additional acquisitions in offshore wind, as well as other maritime sectors, over the next year.”

MVNO Europe - Europe's Competitiveness Depends on a Truly Open Telecoms Market, Not on Increased Concentration That Benefits a Handful of Mobile Operators1.12.2025 15:37:00 EET | Press release
This is the warning that MVNO Europe – through its President Jacques Bonifay – has issued to the European Commission in an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen and Vice-President Henna Virkkunen. As discussions on the Digital Networks Act (DNA) enter their decisive phase, the association, which brings together alternative mobile operators in Europe, points out that the EU's digital ambition can only be achieved if competition remains a structuring principle, not an adjustment variable. While some players are calling for "necessary" consolidation in the sector, MVNO Europe warns against a simplistic and economically dangerous vision. "Reducing the number of operators has never guaranteed innovation, access for European industries, or fair conditions for new digital services. On the contrary, the historical driver of European competitiveness has always been the diversity of players, models, technologies and services," says Jacques Bonifay, President of MVNO Europe and CEO of Transatel.
